My stats:

  • Age: 55
  • Height: 5' 3"
  • Beginning weight pre-lap band surgery 6/2008: 220
  • Weight when my lap band was removed 2/2017: 140
  • Weight pre-sleeve 2/2018: 160
  • Current weight: 128
  • Goal weight: 125

My surgeon suggested that I lose more - going into the 110s. I haven't been that weight in 30 years, and I'm happy with 125 as a goal. I feel fantastic at my weight right now! :D

Hi! I am 5'6 and my goal weight is 175. I know its on the higher end, and I'll still be considered overweight but I also want to set realistic goals. I think that once I hit that weight, I might aim for 160, but honestly my true goal is not being in pain, and being able to shop in normal stores :)

That's pretty much exactly what my goals are. I'm 5'5 ... almost 5'6

I put 180 for my goal weight because I liked the ticker, LOL! But my main goal is to FEEL healthier, stronger, agile, and flexible. I want to walk a flight of steps without huffing and puffing. I want to sit comfortably at a stadium or in an airplane (without having to ask for a belt extender). I want to place my hands flat on the floor and touch my forehead to my knees.

I’m curious! [emoji4]
What is your goal weight? How tall are you? How much weight do you have to lose? What is your proudest NSV?
For those of you who have met your goal weight: How many pounds have you lost? How long did it take to reach your goal?

I am 6’4” and started my journey at 333lbs. I originally set a goal weight for myself of 230lbs just trying to set something I thought was realistic. I am currently sitting at 198lbs, and have realized at this point that the number really doesn’t matter. My only goals now are getting my body to where I want it to be strength wise, and to just live healthy. If I gain or lose a few pounds it really doesn’t matter so long as I am living the way I know I need to to stay healthy.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
